    Is this Fizzo character an Aussie by any chance?

    I remember sitting in a field overlooking Plymouth Sound while some Harrier pilot made repeated landing/take-offs on the rear cargo door of the Atlantic Conveyor…I seem to recall the door being a bit shorter than the Harrier so it landed with the nose partly inside the ship & took off by going up/backwards for a while…

    Does anyone have any particular objection to this thread being locked?

    It appears to be going nowhere.

    Lock it? just delete the entire thing.

    The problem with the programme was that they kept going over incident in the aircraft ad infinitum, which got annoying, everytime there was an advert, which was all too often, we had to be reminded of the facts all over again, groan.

    I bloody hate that, every damn US documentry does it so it takes an hour to tell a 20 minute story because you listen to the same stuff over & over & over. I can only assume it’s because Americans have the attention span of a goldfish.:mad:

    Is this the latest attempt to stop our “allies” mistakenly shooting at the RAF?

    There is still the odd treasure to be found, in a Russian forest, a European lake, a remote forced landing site in the Pacific, a farmers shed in Britain, US or Australia.

    Or a field full of Phantoms (?) in Thailand:

    So many seem to need to have a pop at TVOC for various reasons, that piece of film from Vulcan 903 is the best answer to all of it.

    All they have to do to silence most of the critics is make their accounts public.. which I believe is a requirement if you receive money from the HLF…?

    Surely they aren’t afraid of being audited…… are they?

    Just got an email from Kano:
    We are able to ship direct to the UK, but keep in mind that it would be considered a Hazardous shipment. Of course with this, additional fees do apply, and it can get quite expensive. If this is of interest to you, please reply with a complete shipping address and which products and I will be glad to quote shipping rates.

    Friend of mine did that with a Range Rover (1977) but that is prosperous Cambridgeshire for you.

    Aquaintance of mine did it in Norfolk with a tractor: Dead of winter, colder than a well diggers behind, decides to “warm it up a bit” by igniting a bale of straw under the crankcase in the belief it “would thin the oil & make it easier to spin over” 😮 You can imagine the rest….:rolleyes:

    …He wasn’t the brightest bulb in the chandelier….On another occassion he fell off the back of his brothers Triumph while using both hands to hold a truck battery…. he still had hold of it as he slid into the ditch..:D

    I agree. What you can lift, and what you can actually carry off a mountain are two different things. You would surely have to be desperate to look at this as a serious source of income.

    Especially considering the amount of parts not half way up mountains.. the wings that just got stolen in Az & the B24 fuselage in Aus being the 2 most recent (as seen on Wix)
    In the US farmers are making a small fortune ripping up miles of copper wiring from derelict missile silos on their land..

    Only those who have never engaged in it criticise the joys of stubble burning 😉

    I concur :D:diablo:
